Cheyenne Sweatman-Fireside Trail Camp This camp is representative of a "trail camp" that was used during the annual round up. Set up by the ranch house cook as a semi-permanent camp, the "trail hands" would return at the end of a long hard day for a good cup of coffee, some "grub" and a bedroll to grab some "shut-eye".

Cactus Rose Saloon - Proprietors Tom Roper & Johnny Watts - The first documented "saloon" established in 1822, was Brown's Hole near the WY, CO, and UT border.
